Description
So two of the new chapters I've added to the book follow a more "typical" day in the life of each of my MCs. This would be an illustration for Chapter 8. Kind of a nice hum-drum sort of thing. Slice-of-life, if you will. Plus is gives me an excuse to introduce a couple new characters. (As if I needed more of them)
Lola has a part-time job at a local convenience store while she's going to college. She works alongside Trace, who is the manager. I'm using a Genesis 2 Male for Trace. Gabriel. By placing him further from the camera and in some shadow, I don't think he sticks out too terribly much. This is more or less an experiment, because up until this point I only mix generations to create crowds.
Let me know. Does it work? Does he look like he belongs in this scene?

excellent
Thank you.
Works fine; nice camera angle.
Thank you. I wanted to be sure to give it a candid look.
Looks okay, but would he be sitting on the counter?
There was nothing in the 3-minute orientation that said he couldn't, lol. Originally I was going to have Lola sitting on the counter, since she does in the chapter, but then it looked more like she was a customer, or a flirty girl. Trace is pretty relaxed.
Great POV...they should not sell (or worse, smoke !) cigarettes ! A poison !
Neither smoke. Lola actually has some triggers involving cigarettes, which is why Trace does the inventory on them. I agree wholeheartedly - POISON!
Awesome Scene.
Thank you, Okrim.
Masterful done!!!!👏👍🙋♂️
I'm glad you think so! Thanks.
It's true that a spot towards the face could have highlighted it more
Thanks. That's a part of the magic, right? Conceal and reveal.
That is a good scene and nice arrangement. Tells a story that leads the imagination to what those two might be talking about there.
Yeah. I hope it works well within the book. I think it will Just another typical work day.
Amazing image, excellent done!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks.
outstanding scene and characters and posing
Thank you, Ricahrd. Hope you are feeling well on this fine Sunday.
Works for me. Nice scene, and his casual pose is excellent! Quite intimate, in a strange sort of way...
I'm loving the dialogue in the scene, too. It was just something that popped up, very naturally. I thought, "Maybe I could use another chapter here." And then "What would happen in it?" and the next thing I knew, I had an entire chapter detailing Lola going to work, which perfectly complements an earlier chapter with Lenny.
Very good scene!!!
Thank you! Have a great day!
You have a good scene set up here, but in my opinion compared to Lola, Trace looks dated and his texture looks flat. That's just MHO. Maybe tweak his texture or try a different lighting on him. You always give me honest opinions which I so appreciate, so I believe you expect the same from me my friend.
Yes, that is what I'm worried about. That's why I didn't add any clutter to the counter yet. I thought I'd give Gabriel a try, since he's been just sitting there for some time. Overall, I like the scene, but I wanted to get some other input before I ramped it up to the full concept.
Of course, I also realized this morning that since Trace is a married man, and since I've picked the lovely Nuka to be his wife, if I did any future renders with the pair of them it would be painfully obvious.
I'll look into it, but most likely I'll be swapping him out entirely with a G8M. Got a few of those I haven't used, either.
Thanks! I appreciate the feedback greatly.
The scene looks fine to me, pretty much a "normal day at work" kind of thing. Maybe a tiny bit more light on his face - as if it was bouncing slightly off the product boxes on the shelf. Not enough for him to dominate the scene, just enough for a bit more facial detail.
Yeah..... Adding characters..... 🙄 I started with 2 main characters - now I've lost track of how many are in the story.... LOL They all have a part to play, though..
Yep. It's just strange for me because my books tend to have a minimal set of characters. This project has grown exponentially, just with named characters. Not to mention the scenes I've done with nameless (and faceless) characters.
This new graphic looks very beautiful dear Lyle! 🌺 I thank you for your sympathy and wish you a great new week!
Thanks. I'm glad you could stop by and give some feedback. Take care of yourself, you hear!
A really awesome scene! I suspect he has a crush on Lola.
He's a nice guy, but maybe just a little bit.
Seems he is on the prowl on picking her up. Nice rendered work and cool body art.
Good to know... That's the second comment like that. Think I need some adjustments now. Thanks!
Fantastic work
Thanks!
I think it works, especially with the POV you chose.
Thank you. Let me know what you think of MKII!
Both the characters look cool. Maybe he is a little shy and only look at her stealthily when she does not see it. Characters do not always need to be shown that they need to make eye contact.
That's one of the weird things, I think. It's harder to show just friendship between a guy/girl then it is romantic interest. Thanks for the feedback. Let me know what you think of MKII!
Personal opinion on Trace. He needs to be a BG character. Its not anything you did. There is such a distinction in geometry and texture. She needs to play to someone of her caliber. You are to be commended for trying new things. Well done for exploring boundaries.
Hey. I think the updated version works better. Gabriel is great - just dated. And to bring him up to G8 quality? I got plenty of models.
Nice work .
TY
OMG! No! No! No! Don't tell me you use an old and totally antiquated Gen2 male character! LOL! Couldn't help myself, since I have never gone beyond M4 and he still works more than adequately for my feeble attempts! A very nice image with great and cool looking characters! Most delightful viewing!
Lol. It's more how they look together in the same scene.
They look well matched! This is excellent work!
Thank you.
